Evaluating the Accuracy of Different Local Climate Zone Maps [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Local Climate Zones (LCZs) are essential for understanding urban climates, providing crucial information for urban planning, environmental monitoring, and addressing challenges like the urban heat island effect.

Unravelling indoor temperature response to summer heat through long‐term crowdsourced observations in Dutch residences

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 775, January 2026 Part B.
This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.

Urban Heat Intensification and Heatwave Trends in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Rapid urbanization combined with climate variability has intensified extreme heat exposure in tropical Vietnam. Using multi‐decadal ground observations (1981–2022), ERA5 reanalysis, and Landsat‐derived land surface temperature (LST), this study investigates long‐term trends of heatwaves and surface urban heat island (SUHI) intensity in Hanoi and Ho Chi

Annual Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity in Makassar City, Indonesia (2013-2024): An Integrative Local Climate Zone Framework

Forum Geografi
Urbanization is altering the local climate, but 2D models still fall short in representing the drivers of urban heat distribution because they don’t account for 3D factors.

Thermodynamic and Technoeconomic Assessment of a Multigeneration Renewable Energy System for Energy Independence in Gn. Fuvahmulah and L. Gan of Maldives

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The lack of natural energy resources, coupled with the Maldives’ complete dependance on imported electricity, makes sustainable power solutions imperative. This study examines the design and performance of a renewable energy (RE) system for Gn. Fuvahmulah and L. Gan.

Microclimatic Buffering by Front‐Yard Vegetation: Simulation‐Based Assessment of Near‐Façade Environmental Modulation in Urban Houses

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Residential buildings in low‐vegetation urban areas are increasingly exposed to heat and air–pollution stress, particularly in suburbs with limited canopy cover near traffic and industrial sources. This study investigates how front‐yard vegetation functions as a near‐façade microclimatic buffer, moderating outdoor boundary conditions and providing ...

Sensitivity of Regional WRF‐Chem Air Quality and Weather Simulations to Biomass‐Burning Emission Data Sets: A Case Study of the Impact of Canadian Wildfire on the US

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on the period from June 26 to 29, 2023, when record‐breaking Canadian wildfires severely impacted air quality in the Midwest United States. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model with Chemistry (WRF‐Chem) and four biomass‐burning data sets (Fire Inventory from NCAR version 1, Fire Inventory from NCAR version 2.5 ...

Identificação de 'Local climate zones' (LCZ's) no concelho do Porto

, 2017
Neste trabalho, propomo-nos a identificar as local climate zones (LCZs) no concelho do Porto e a testar a sua sensibilidade às variações intraurbanas do risco para a saúde dos seres humanos durante episódios extremos de temperatura. Para tal, começamos por identificar as LCZs seguindo a metodologia proposta na plataforma WUDAPT.
